Well, maybe we'll see each other there.
I'm not 100 percent sure I'll get there Monday.
I will email you some time Monday and let you know if I'm going to get there.

If you see anybody you think is me, feel free to find out if it is...lol

Unfortunately, I wont be able to make it. But Bro Magno and I have a lot of friends there. They are a great group of people.

I don't guess I know them? Are they a Lawson split off?

Elder, I don't know if they are a Lawson split off or not. Seems like there have been a lot of split offs over the years and they like that "Church of Jesus Christ" name. Actually, I personally like that name too but don't think it has to be on the outside of the building. The churches listed on their web site have various names.

Their web site is:

I'm not sure when they were organized but Bishop Howard from New Castle, IN was part of their board of Bishops. I think he was pretty well known around Indiana. I think he was part of the AMA (or whatever Bro. Ooton's organization was called). Elder Flemming was part of this organization when he was planting the church in Indiana.

They seem pretty conservative. In the manual they include an addendum from June 24, 1999 which specifically addresses:

"...the man should have short hair, and the woman long hair. ...See through clothing, cap sleeves, low neck line, shirts or dresses with two or three top buttons undone, skirts or dresses that aren't below the knees, shorts, ... clothing should not be tight... slits in skirts and dresses should not come above the knees, ...we don't believe in wearing of jewelry, earrings, necklaces, etc."

As many folks as you know who have been associated with Pentecost over the years you'd probably recognize some of the names on their web site.

I remember Elder Howard and Elder Ooten.

This is the same week as Minnesota Camp Meeting...and this is a big deal since it was ALWAYS the last week of July; but it was so HOT last year they changed the time as a survival tactic. They can't add A/C due to insufficient electrical power/service. The camp is on Grey Cloud Island and there are a few homes, maybe a farm or two and the original service lines did not anticipate a campground with a Tabernacle, Dining Hall, dorms and umpteen RV's all needing AC.

The camp speaker is Stan Gleason..who always does a great job!

I met Bro. Howard many years ago. I visited his church in New Castle once when they were having an anniversary or fellowship meeting or something. I remember being in services in one building and then crossing the street into an older building for a meal.

I heard Bro. Ooton teach once. This was at an AMA service at the Jesus' Name Pentecostal church in Dayton, OH. Bro. William Coleman was pastor. His son is now pastor. I've preached for the elder Bro. Coleman a few times. Bro. Ooton was an old man and that had to be in the mid nineteen seventies or so.

From what I understand, Bro. Ooton formed the AMA (Apostolic Ministerial Alliance) in 1941 and they had about 1000 ministers at one time. When I heard him that group was considerably smaller. They only had a few churches listed in their magazine which Bro. Coleman edited and published.

I hope to get to the UACoJC tomorrow (Monday). That may be the only time I get there all week. If you see me, come up and introduce yourself. I look something like my picture here. I will have on a blue short sleeve shirt, oxford cloth, button down collar, no tie, no suit coat or jacket, black jeans, and black gym type shoes with velcro fasteners.
